A Powerball ticket sold in Illinois matched all six numbers in Wednesday night's drawing, winning an estimated $1.04 billion jackpot, according to the lottery organization.
The lottery game that has made millionaires in the United States will expand this summer to include players in England, Scotland, and other parts of the United Kingdom.
The estimated Powerball jackpot for Monday's drawing is $45 million after Saturday's drawing failed to produce a grand prize winner, but a lucky player in Southern California is holding a ticket worth over $2.2 million.
Someone in Southern California is a whole lot richer after playing the Powerball.
The $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot wasn't won in Southern California, but a ticket worth $2.8 million was sold at a 7-Eleven in the Inland Empire.
The current jackpot is estimated to be $1.7 billion for the drawing on Christmas Eve after there was no winner in Monday's drawing.
